Sunday afternoon large number Of
the friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Christ and

Mankato will not get the $4,000 hotel
about which so much ado has been
made lately. Mr.. Holbrook, the pro-
jector, announced Tuesday that he
would be unable to build because par.
ties who were to share the expense with
him could not fulfill their agreement.
We hope that Mankato people will not
feel too bad about this. If they want to
stop at a first class hotel and get a
good, square meal they will only have
to take an hours ride and stop at
New Ulm. We have plenty of room and
enough to eat.
In it's report of the first session Of the
new city council of Minneapolis, the
Pioneer Press says: 'sThe first office to
be filled was that of president of the
council. Aid. Gibson, on behalf of the
Democratic members, nominated Titus
Mareck and Aid. Cooley named for the
office the Hon. D. NJ. Clough, who he
said was the unanimous choice of the
Republican caucus. Mareck received
twenty votes and Clough sixteen on the
informal ballot. On the formal ballot
the vote was: Mareck, %: Clough, Is.
Aid. Mareck was assisted to the chair
by Aldermen Morse and Barrows, and
after he had made a little speech of
thanks the, council took ballot for
vice-preident." Mr.. Mareck was for
merly citizen of New Ulm, and his
election to so Important a position is a
well-merited recognition of his many
good qualities. A council that could
make Mr.. Mareck its presiding Office
must have somo good material in it,
democrats or no democrats.
The Nicollet correspondent of the
st. Peter Journal says: The prospect
of grist mill is very fattering Two
gentlemen hailing from Cincinnati pro-
pose, if given $4,000 bonus, to erect a
mill with a capacity Of, 200 bbls. per
day. at cost of 100000. They pro-
pose, if they decide to locate here, to
have the mill completed by Oct. 1st.
Our citizens have responded nobly to
the call for assistance, and have thus
far raised 81, 723, and they feel pretty
sure Of raising the rest Of the amount"
We congratulate our neighbor, to
their good luck; If by offering bonus
Of $4,000, they can induce 100000 to
come to their town, they are very fort
innate and should close the bargain at
once. Should they be unable to raise
the necessary sum we would suggest to
the Cincinnati gentlemen to locate in
New Ulm. The reputation this city has
as atlour manufacturing centre is worth
more to . new mill than bonus Of
thousands Of dollars would be in any
other town.
